Today we had Tony Corbell who showed us how to use studio and strobe lighting. The lovely Briana was again our model to which I don't think many us of were too sad about :-) ...she is actually a very sweet person and easy to talk to. She ended up doing three wardrobe changes through out the day. Sarah also joined us for a short while as well as a Mom of 4!!! who was just naturally beautiful (She's the one in red with the long blond hair)....unfortunately I can't recall her name. Then several of us pulled in Amber who worked for PCU, who is not a model but should be, to grab a few shots of her. She has some really amazing eyes.
In addition to shooting with strobes, we also did some shooting outdoors with Tony. Tony demonstrated how slight changes in one's position can make dramatic changes in how the light falls. To do this, he had Briana move around under the patio cover showing the differences placement and how moving ever so slightly can create dramatic changes in light detail. I found this to be most informative.
I learned a tremendous amount this weekend that will come in very handy and can't wait until I have another opportunity to take additional classes...which just so happens to be next Friday when the Flash Bus Tour rolls into town with my 'mentor' David Hobby. I have learned most of what I know about off camera flash from him and can't wait for the opportunity to meet him and Joe McNally (world famous National Geographic photographer).
I guess it's back to the real world tomorrow.
Here are some shots from today's session.
